The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

Sudan's humanitarian apocalypse intensifies as RSF barbarians overrun el-Fasher, trapping thousands in a vortex of mass executions, torture, and sexual savagery while aid blackouts doom the desperate. #SudanWar

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first β€” when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

Can someone PLEASE stop the helicopters circling #Portland? It is so unnerving! I feel bad for veterans who are having PTSD thinking our city is being attacked. It’s outrageous. We are a small city. I lived in DC for over a decade and we’d get them occasionally but this is next level. #NoTroopsInPDX

MSNBC: ex-FBI Dir. James Comey expected to be charged with a crime by Trump administration, per reporting from @DilanianMSNBC and @CarolLeonnig.

This is a huge deal. Trump demanded DOJ charge Comey with something to get revenge. Now they are.

The rule of law is dead.

So Sinclair is your affiliate deal with ABC like the standard deals when I was in local TV?

If you choose NOT to air any ABC show, ABC gets to offer it to another station in your market(s)? In other words you just gave a network show to one of your rivals in 86 markets?

Studies repeatedly show that most people age out of "hardcore" crime by their late 30s and 40s.

And nobody is "born to be" a criminal. Even Trump, who is a hardcore criminal who has not aged out of his illicit behavoir, was not born like this. I blame his parents.

Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have β€œstayed and fought”,

With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr.

He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3

Russian missiles pound Ukraine, damaging EU and British offices Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the strike was Moscow's answer to diplomatic efforts to end its war.

Russia struck Ukraine with deadly missiles and drone strikes in a sweeping attack that the U.S. special envoy on Ukraine said undermined President Donald Trump's peace efforts.

Did you know?

Donald Barr, father of two-time US Attorney General Bill Barr, was headmaster of the Dalton School in New York.

He wrote a Sci-Fi book where young boys and girls are kidnapped, raped, and used for slave labor and sex slavery. Sound familiar?

HE HIRED JEFFREY EPSTEIN TO TEACH THERE!

The Maxwell interview is to the Epstein Files what the Barr Memo was to the Mueller investigation.
